AN ELABORATE BILL OF
FARE.

Hubert Howe Bancroft, in his History
of the Pacific Coast gives the following
Esquimuu bill of fare:
"Fheir substantinls comprise the
flesh of land and marine animals, fish
and birds, venison and whale and seal
blubber being chief. Choice dishes,
which are Hospitality placed before the
stranger, are the following: A bowl of
coagulated blood, mashed crnnberries
with raucid train-oil, whortleberries and
walrus blubber, alternate steaks Of pu-
trid black and white fat, venison stepped
in seal oil, raw deer's liver cut in small
pieces and mixed with the warm, half
digested cont. hts of tine animals stom-
ach, bowls of live maggots, draught of
warm blood from newly killed animal.
Fish are sometimes eaten alive. Meats
are kept in sealskin bugs for over /.
year, decomposing meanwhile, but
never becoming too rancid for our Es-
quimaux. Their Winter store of oil
they secure in sellskin bags, which are
buried in the frozen ground. Salt is
not used by the E$quimaux."

Commstce law, the full text being too
len8hthy for our.columns. The decision
says in effect that the railroads must
take the fourth section as they find it,
and act accordingly. In other words
the section is fully operative as law,
and the railroads are held responsible
for any violation of its provisions. We
trust that this decision will have the
effect of prohibiting railroads from an
open violation of the law in discrimin-
ating against the people of Nevada in
the matter of freights.

A Blanket Fish. ,

The Appeal prints what it no doubt
intends rs an exciting story to the effect
that Mr.. Jefferson, of Glenbrook, while
bathing in Lake Tahoe recently was en-
veloped by blanket fish, but by siren.
uous efforts he succeeded in getting to
shore and reached the saloon with the
blanket fish around him. Several men
succeeded in freeing him from the rep
tile which measured six feet long by
five feet wide and weighed 25 pounds.
That's nothing. The Indians i'll this
vicinity make business of catching
blanket fish which when properly
dressed are used as blankets, and form
the principal covering of the noble red
mnn during the Winter season.
